Volume 2: A sudden change in the prison, a red-clothed man goes out to find a thief Chapter 179 Reasoning requires rigorous logic
Dugu Bufu originally planned to leave Mingzhou City directly, but on the way out, he thought of a problem.
Who wrote that letter to him?
The letter asking him to come to Mingzhou City to take care of the business.
The first question Li Si asked when she saw him was, "Why are you here?" This shows that Li Si didn't know about the letter, at least she had no direct relationship with the letter..
Could it be that someone wants to take her away?Did you write the letter because you wanted to make the matter public?
If so, Dugu Bufu thought that he might not be the only one who received the letter. Maybe there were other people who also received the letter and were on their way.
But why would the person who wrote the letter want to make Li Si’s affairs public?
Dugu Bufu thought about it for a while, and then thought of Li Si's second sentence: I am wrong this time, you should go back first. Also, you must not tell anyone about this, I owe you a favor.
It seems that although Li Si has no direct relationship with the letter, she must know the origin of the letter. Then the letter may be sent by someone close to her, and the intention is not necessarily sinister. Maybe she just wants some people to know her true identity, so she sent the letter to him.
Otherwise, it would be fastest to send the letter directly to Fengyu Tower. With Xiao Muchu's behavior, the news would spread throughout the world the next day. From the old man in bed to the young child, everyone would know the whole story.
Thinking he had figured it all out, Dugu Bufu stayed in Mingzhou City temporarily. Because he had promised Li Si to keep this secret for her, he wanted to make sure if there was really someone to "take care of the business".
Sure enough, he had only been guarding the city gate for three days when he saw Jiang Lian'er with her family.
"Not anymore." Jiang Lian'er felt that she couldn't quite understand the situation before her. She hesitated for a moment with a strange look on her face and asked.
"What do you mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything." Dugu Bufu obviously had no intention of explaining, he just held the scabbard in his arms with his hand.
" That's it. You can't go through this time."
…
In the afternoon, it started raining again in Mingzhou City.
After getting through dinner time, it was raining again and business in the store finally slowed down a bit. Li Si, who had a rare moment of free time, stood by the table and cleaned up the dishes.
Cao Wenxuan and Banjiexian were wiping the table hurriedly, because if they waited any longer, more guests would probably arrive, so they had to prepare quickly.
Lao Luo broke an abacus and recently replaced it with a new one. It's still in the running-in period, so it doesn't make any crackling sounds.
Xiao He was tapping the back of Hao Dayou who was lying on a table. This cook should be the most tired person during this period. He had almost no time to rest and now he couldn't even straighten his back.
Li Si carried the cleaned dishes to the kitchen. On the way, he overheard the conversation between two diners.
"Hey, stop looking at Miss Red. I want to tell you something."
"What could be more important than looking at the red girl? Look at her figure, wow."
"Don't mention it, it's really a unique style... No, no, I'm talking to you about something serious, don't interrupt. Did you hear that two gangsters had a fight at the south gate of the city this morning?"
"What's there to say about a fight between people from the underworld?"
"Oh, you don't understand this, right? There's nothing much to say about ordinary people in the martial arts world, but do you know who those two people are?"
"Who is it?"
"My cousin has been in the martial arts world for a while and is very knowledgeable. I heard from him that those two people were Dugu Bufu and Jiang Lian'er!"
"Hiss! Are you kidding? These two are both well-known figures in the martial arts world. What are they doing in a small place like ours?"
"I didn't believe it at first, but I heard they all came for one person."
"who?"
"Li Si! Someone heard Jiang Lian'er mention this name."
"The Thief Saint Li Si?"
"right!"
"Isn't he ill ? Is he still hanging around in the underworld?"
"I don't know either, but the world is ever-changing, who can tell for sure?"
"Huh, if that's true, then I'm afraid something big is going to happen in our Mingzhou City."
"yes……"
Standing in the kitchen and listening to the two people finish their conversation, Li Si was indescribably moved.
Dugu Bufu was such a righteous man that he even helped him stop Jiang Lian'er. Old Li would remember this favor and would repay him in the future.
I just don’t know what he will think after he understands Dugu Bufu’s true thoughts.
But no matter what Li Si thought, Jiang Lian'er had a gloomy face at this moment. He and Yun'er were chased by Dugu Bufu for several miles before they managed to escape from the outskirts of Mingzhou.
I don’t know what’s wrong with this madman recently. Is there any treasure in Mingzhou City that’s worth his protection?
"What is going on?" Covering her forehead, Jiang Lian'er sighed with a headache.
Yun'er looked in the direction where Dugu Bufu left and frowned in confusion.
Why didn't Brother Dugu want the young master to meet Brother Si...
Is it possible! ?
Her eyes suddenly widened and her face turned a little red, as if she had thought of something extraordinary.
…
At night, the rain got heavier, and because of the heavy rain, the store finally had a moment of peace and quiet.
Li Si half leaned against the door, looking at the hazy street scene outside, feeling physically and mentally tired.
These days are a bit tiring even for him, but also very fulfilling. Unlike the days when he was wandering in the rivers and lakes, he now feels more like an ordinary person trying to make a living. There are compromises, distress, and fatigue, but there is also a kind of comfort that he rarely felt before, that is, a kind of leisurely comfort after living seriously.
This was more like his life in his previous life, but he had to admit that he quite enjoyed this kind of life. After all, he was just an ordinary person, and was more suited to living an ordinary life.
I looked back and saw that the lights in the store were dim yellow.
Zhang Susu counted the money again, not even a copper coin was spared. Lao Luo stood by the counter reading a book, shaking his head from time to time while reciting a sentence. Cao Wenxuan bought some persimmon cakes and ate them with Xiaohe, chatting about street gossip. Banjiexian dozed off on the bench, and all kinds of noises could not wake him up. Hao Dayou should be preparing dinner in the kitchen, and I don't know if his waist is better.
Looking at these, Li Si smiled inexplicably. Perhaps it was because he had been wandering for too long, and it was rare for him to have a place to stay, which made him feel like he had a home.
Of course, it would be better if I could not wear the clothes I am wearing now.
By the time Hao Dayou brought the food to the table, Zhang Susu had counted the money and greeted everyone with a smile.
“It’s time to eat!”
"Coming." A series of uneven voices responded at the same time, and then everyone walked to the table.
The rain was falling at night, half covering the small town. The lights in the door reflected on the ground outside the door, making it dim. A few figures swayed in the light, accompanied by a few gossips, some family matters, and some laughter, making this cold rainy night also tinged with a bit of human flavor.
